The AOD in my base bird is acting up. It developed a leak from the front about a year ago, and I've just kept adding to it every once in a while when it starts slipping. I've been trying hard not to have to pull it
Today, trying to leave work, I cannot get it into either Reverse or Neutral. Park seems to act fine (couldn't push the car, didn't move under it's own power), Reverse acted just like park, and everything else tried to move forward. Ran fine (with some slippage, I did add more fluid this morning) last night going to work.
Is there something simple that could cause this? The car was in a pull in parking slot with a very big median, so it's stuck at the moment. Short of unhooking the driveshaft and rolling it back, I'm not sure what to do.
I have access to a good used trans from a 5.0 from a buddy who bought the motor/tranny but doesn't want to use an auto. It hs been sitting for 6-8 months though, so aside from a filter and fluid, should there be anything to look for? I will probably go ahead and put in a new front seal to be safe as well. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
